PWInsider.com is sad to report that former WWE star Andrew "Test" Martin passed away last night in Tampa, Florida at the age of 33, just four days shy of his 34th birthday. We don't have much in the way of details beyond reports he was found in his apartment. Tampa area authorities have declined to confirm it is Martin but word within the industry has been widespread the last few hours.
